Baseball: Nevada's Wells tosses complete game shutout loss

Nevada junior lefty Tyler Wells tossed a complete game, but the Wolf Pack was shut out 1-0 at Hawaii in the final game of a four-game series at Les Murakami Stadium late Monday. The two former Western Athletic Conference foes split the four-game series and both squads are 9-11 on the season.

The only run came in the bottom of the first inning when Stephen Ventimilia singled, stole second base and advanced to third on the play courtesy of a wild pitch. A groundout by Kaeo Aliviado scored Ventimilia with the only run of the night.

UH starter Scott Kuzminsky (2-2) faced the minimum 27 batters in the game and earned his second win of the season. Kuzminsky allowed a walk and two singles. Austin Byler walked in the first but was caught stealing second base. Catcher Jordan Devencenzi and Byler singled in the game but both were erased on double plays.

Wells (0-3) was sharp retiring 18 in a row after allowing the single to Ventimilia. He allowed two hits and struck out eight, one off his career high. The eight innings pitched is a career best.

Nevada returns to Mountain West play at 4 p.m. Friday when Air Force is at Peccole Park to begin a three-game conference series.
